Using Monitor.Wait() is a great solution but comes with its own set of problems. Most notably, it has no guaranteed accuracy. If you tell it to wait one hour, it will wait AT LEAST one hour. A number of factors can delay the response. It would be much safer to use Monitor.Wait() to suspend the thread, then switch to a more accurate but processor-intensive method for precision.

Also, when calculating the delay, since a number of factors (already pointed out by someone else) can cause this delay to be off, if you really want precision, I would calculate it a few times, then perform the reverse calculation for each result. This will allow you to be assured that your delay value is accurate.
